History is reflected in the words of many songs of many folk groupsThe Miner’s Lifeguard - - A miner’s life is like a sailor's - But for a ship to cross the waves - - Every day his life in danger Still he ventures being brave - Watch the rocks they’re falling daily - Careless miners always fail - Keep your hand upon your wages - And your eye upon the scale. - Chorus: - Union miners stand together - Do not heed the owner’s tale - Keep your hand upon your wages - And your eye upon the scale. 2. You’ve been docked and docked again boys - You’ve been loading two to one - What have you to show for working? - Since your mining has begun - Worn out boots and worn out miners - Lungs of stone and children pale - Keep your hand upon your wages - And your eye upon the scale. |
Folk Groups - Quotations.
Much has been written about folk music and folk groups. Here are some quotations:-
To handle folk tunes is one of the most difficult tasks; equally difficult, if not more so than to write a major original composition. If we keep in mind that borrowing a tune means being bound by its individual peculiarity, we shall understand one part of the difficulty. Another is created by the special character of folk tune. We must penetrate into it, feel it and bring out its sharp contours by the appropriate setting.~ Bela Bartok
